I think of taupe as a light brown/grey, but am hearing red and orange, yikes! keep trying to get as far away from those colors as I can - have ashy blonde hair and no eyebrows, sigh. does it have reddish tone when it dries? ugh!

I uploaded a photo of it drawn on my wrist so that you can see the color. I guess you could say the Natural Taupe has kind of a reddish tint, but it's more like a warm light brown. It doesn't look reddish when I wear it and it dries. I think it looks more natural with the warmish tint because it blends into my skin, versus if it were more gray. You can control the color based on whether you just lightly draw it on with little feathery strokes in one layer, vs. drawing it on thicker and drawing over the same spot several times. With one light translucent layer, I would say it could be considered taupe. Also, sometimes, I run a stiff eyebrow brush over it to rub a little bit of it off if I put it on too dark. Depending on how you put it on, you can make it look very light and natural and it won't look red.

It's taupe overall - a mix of grey & brown. I guess it leans more to the grey.

I ordered the lightest color, which should be Ginger Blonde, but when I got it, it is not light enough for my hair. It is more brassy than I expected, not so blonde, with almost reddish tint to it. I am going to figure out if I can add color to it. I do like the quality for the price though. Maybe there is a lighter color that I didn't see? Good luck :-)

The one I got is taupe just like the picture. I don't remember it saying grey.

It's more of a bronzed honey. Don't look for too much color coverate. If you're not already tan, this will not make you tan. It's an oil with a little shimmer to it. You might have to keep reapplying through out the day.

I just got one and it didn't have a choice of colors. Unless your eyebrows are naurally REALLY light then the dark brown should be ok.

It is supposed to be one colour. A kind of taupe brown that is shadowy enough to use on all skin tones and hair colours. I have a similiar marking on mine. I think it's just the batch number.

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

I'm not sure what "taupe" is, but yes, it is more "yellowish". A nice color in my view.

It dries on me as a true taupe color, but it is more of a medium intensity in color than light. (I have very sparse eyebrows & fair to medium skin tone.) However if you're not heavy-handed with it, you can control the color intensity. Let the first application dry & check the color before applying more. I heard the red & orange tales also but I think it's a matter of body chemistry reaction with the color on an individual basis. It won't be the same on everyone. It does dry fairly smudge proof & the pen is easy to use with a little practice. Hope that helps!

No, it doesn't turn me orange, and is quite a natural looking medium honey shade. (I have the natural bronzer one) it does have some shimmer, but I'd describe it as more of a "glow"...? I love it.

I think you are supposed to use a color close to your natural color. I have graying hair, but my eyebrows are not gray. I found the blonde color to be darker than expected, but worked well with my fair skin.

It's definitely not gold/light brown. I'd say from your other descriptions, I'd go with taupe/brown. My decor is a testbed of neutrals, all in browns, tans, creams, etc. This couch isn't an exact match to anything else, so I integrate it with pillows and other accessories. I wouldn't buy this couch if you are trying for an exact color match.

Hello Thomas, The first color will roll out in about two months. It will be taupe, which is somewhere between brown and light violet and should hide stains well. Thanks for asking!

I can't imagine either shade producing an orange effect. It's only tinted so the color is barely visible. I use the natural and I have an olive skin tone, it blends perfectly, and feels great on my skin.

Blond or taupe, though you need a light touch for either. You can see/test them at Sephora.
